Colour Distinction: Create Magic In Your Apartment

- 

Prussian blue and black might seem too sombre for homes, but with the right balance of shine, they create magic in this apartment.

Homeowners Darren Sabom and Sharon Siah first approached architect William Ng from Studio Wills + Architects with a myriad of ideas for their duplex gathered from Pinterest. Their design ideas included the use of prints and patterns, subway and hexagonal tiles, coloured walls and wired glass.

Inspiration provided, they left the design up to William, who ensured all these elements were incorporated into the design of the kitchen, yard, and powder room on the first level, and common bathroom, master bedroom and bathroom on the second floor.

The clear distinction between the living and kitchen spaces is made by colouring the latter with the homeowners’ favourite colour – blue. Darren wanted an open-concept kitchen so the original walls between the kitchen and powder room were torn down; the powder room was then made smaller. “We love spending time at home and inviting friends over for dinner, so my favourite space is definitely the kitchen because it’s done with practical use in mind and is a nod to good design,” says Sharon.
